Youths, I tell you, one of the worst things about getting old is that you can no longer quite shake off hangovers like you used to. I blame @jerry_jtaylor for leading me into excess.
Hangover cure: a giant, three-egg-and-pesto sandwich followed by 3+ hours of grown men play-acting superheroes for my enjoyment. #Endgame
Before I head to the movie, and apropos of absolutely nothing, here is my all-time favorite piece of stock art. I want to use it in every single story about US politics.

Apropos of absolutely nothing, I think it's important to note:

Incrementalist bipartisan solutions might once have been adequate. Now they are dangerous and counterproductive and inappropriate to our present situation.

People who realize this are going to keep saying this.
We are an airplane in freefall.

We have a group in power who would like us to crash into the ground and are in fact working to accelerate the crash.

We need everyone to recognize the emergency of this.

A partnership deal with the pro-crash group doesn't do that.
Any plan that the pro-crash group will agree to involves a crash.

We need to get the controls back. We do this by announcing our intentions to not crash.

An agreement to crash at a 65 degree angle and only 500 mph is not helpful.

1/ Starting a thread for the week looking back at some of the best (and/or my favorite) @PacificStand stories from the past year. We'll be running round-ups -- and some other, new reporting and storytelling -- all week at psmag.com. What a year it's been.
2/ @AntoniaJuhasz's analysis confirmed that the oil and gas industry is among the latest tax bill's greatest financial beneficiaries. Just 17 American oil and gas companies reported a combined total of $25 billion in direct one-time benefits: psmag.com/economics/tax-…
3/ @DwyerGunn introduced our week of coverage on the past, present, and future of organized labor in America, State of the Unions Week, with a piece looking back at what caused their decline: psmag.com/economics/what…. The whole package is here: psmag.com/economics/stat….

APROPOS OF ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AT ALL: Can I say a few words about a handful of pieces we've published recently in @TWSculture? I just want to highlight a few of my favorites from 2018. 1/
I'll start with this brilliant piece by David Skinner (@EditorSkinner). It's HUGE—and it's the best essay you will ever read about dictionaries. It's brand-new—it's on the cover (!) of the mag this week—but David started work on it back in March. 2/

Another recent one: @HannahGraceLong is among the most gifted young writers I've ever worked with—she's a natural. This piece on Christopher Tolkien and his father's legacy is filled with more gems than Smaug's cave. 3/

Apropos of absolutely nothing at all, I thought I'd throw together a quick overview of some propaganda mouthpieces who worked for authoritarians and what happened to them. THREAD /1
Julius Streicher, an early NSDAP member, ran 'Der Stuermer' - not officially a Nazi newspaper, but heavily supportive. It was virulently, luridly antisemitic. There was plausible deniability on behalf of the regime, therefore, in the beginning. Streicher was hanged at Nuremberg.
William Joyce was a fascist who was the most famous of the 'Lord Haw Haw' broadcasters who did shows from Germany to demoralise the British. Actually, they were very popular, mostly as a figure of fun. Joyce was captured and executed in 1946.
